Allied troops and warships in Saudi Arabia were moving into battle positions Tuesday, though U.S. commanders have indicated they want more damage inflicted by the air war before beginning a ground offensive, The Associated Press reported.
Preparing for the ground war, U.S. troops have taken a series of steps:
• Most Marines have been forced to leave all personal items behind, now carrying only weapons, ammunition, uniform and a change of underwear. "No more writing pads and envelopes," said Chief Warrant Officer Charles Rowe. "Maybe just one or two, to write those special letters."
• Last ninute preparations are being taken, including training for the newest troops arriving in Saudi Ara-

New Shrine parking lot may affect USC profits
By Dave Hernandez
Staff Writer
A new parking structure north of the Shrine Auditorium is slated for completion by this June, said Brian Fenske, a spokesperson for the Shrine Auditorium.
The structure will add 700 parking spaces to the immediate university area, but may adversely affect university parking operations revenues.
There has been no formal agreement between the university and the Shrine regarding use of the parking structure, but a spokesperson for Charter Parking, the company that will manage the structure, said it would be open for student use.
The primary reason for building the structure was to accomodate theater audiences during events at the Shrine, Fenske said. Those crowds currently utilize university parking spaces, primarily located behind the auditorium, Fenske said.
Roy Heidicker, associate director of university parking services, would not comment on any potential loss of revenue that could be caused by the structure's opening. He said he did not have enough information to make that judgement now.
At the American Music Awards ceremonies held at the Shrine Jan. 28, the university rented 200 of its spaces to the Shrine and took in $1,000. Conceivably, after the new structure is built, patrons of the Shrine will no longer

Fraternity party turns into brawl
By Chris Fukunaga
Staff Writer
A fraternity party at the Kappa Sigma house turned into a racially charged brawl last Thursday night as police were called to break up a fight between white fraternity members and black partygoers, witness-ness said.
The incident began when a black partygoer allegedly urinated on a carpet and then refused to leave, said Blaze Holbert, a sophomore majoring in business and a Kappa Sigma member.
The "invite party" was open only to the fraternity and the invited sorority, Pi Beta Phi, but the fraternity decided to open it to the public, Holbert said.
"Everything was going fine and cool, so at about 11 o'clock we started letting a lot of people in," he said.
Holbert said the fight broke out around 2 a.m. when the Kappa Sigma president, Ted Pallid, walked by a hallway and noticed two men urinating on the carpet.
Pallid said he did not recognize either man and decided to confront the two.
"I asked them to go outside
and when they refused, I tried to forcibly eject them," he said.
That is when a larger fight erupted among the many party-goers, Pallid said.
"As we came to the door, one of them jumped on me, and pretty soon members of the fraternity were coming to my side while other black non-fraternity members came to theirs," he said.
Pallid said the group then moved outside, and the fight continued with several white fraternity members fighting with several black partygoers.
One member of the group of black partygoers told a different story.
Joel Scott, a junior majoring in public administration and a wide receiver on the football team, said he and his girlfriend got involved when someone called her a "nigger."
"We had left the party and were across the street when I saw some kind of a commotion and went over to ask what was happening," Scott said. "That's when somebody called my girlfriend a 'nigger.' I tried to calm her down, and then somebody (See Fight, page 6)
Stormin ’ Norman fights on
Military leader studied mechanical engineering

The man behind U.S. military operations "Desert Shield," "Desert Storm" and Grenada's "Urgent Fury" once wore cardinal and gold instead of desert tan and olive green.
General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, United States Commander-in-Chief of Allied forces in the Persian Gulf War, graduated from the university with a master's degree in mechanical engineering in 1964.
Schwarzkopf was an officer in the United States Army when he attended the university.
Roger Freberg, a former professor of mechanical engineering at the university, headed the two-year guided-missile engineering program Schwarzkopf was enrolled in. Freberg said that during the 1960s, the army would select a few officers from around the country for training in the program.
"The officers set the pace for everyone else in the program," Freberg said. "They were very good students."
After graduating from the university, Schwarzkopf returned to West Point Military Academy, his undergraduate alma mater, as an instructor in the department of mechanics.
In 1965, Schwarzkopf served one year in Vietnam as a paratrooper adviser. He returned to Vietnam for a second tour of duty in 1969 as the commander of an infantry brigade.
His more recent posts have included a stint as deputy director for military plans at the Pacific Command in Hawaii and a year at the Pentagon as assistant deputy chief of staff for operations and plans.
Operation "Urgent Fury," as the invasion of Grenada was called, was the first military conflict in which Schwarzkopf played a major role.
He was deputy commander of the joint task force in charge of the troops involved in the invasion of the small Caribbean island.
Today, as head of the United States Central Command in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Schwarzkopf is in charge of approximately 675,000 troops from 28 Allied nations.
In addition to his nickname, "Stormin' Norman," — a title he earned well before Operation "Desert Storm" — Schwarzkopf is known as the man who predicted war in the Middle East. In 1983, as commander of an infantry division, Schwarzkopf trained his troops in the Mojave Desert.
"He always felt the likelihood of war was far greater in the Middle East than in Europe," retired Brig. Gen. George Baxter told the Wall Street Journal.
